we're sitting down with an author professor of philosophy and currently a senior scholar at the institute for policy studies and you're a living thank you very much for joining me by cute are writing me you contributed to a book it's titled hopeless barack obama and the politics of illusion what was the illusion in your opinion and how did it get hopeless well obama of course campaigned on the idea of hope and the possibility of change but he was skillful in turning himself into something like a rorschach figure which anyone could see whatever they wanted to see the changes were not certainly ruptures with the past. they dashed at the expectations of virtually every constituency that supported him because they envisioned. transformations of american domestic and foreign policy that were far

more far reaching than what obama actually even attempted let alone achieved as far as foreign policy you're writing that president obama's wars could come back to bite him even the ones he didn't start but which you argue are his by now he pledged to withdraw from iraq and afghanistan he says that's what he doing in what way could they bite him well they could all fall apart. if the united states lost both of those wars even before obama assumed office but the imperative that obama faced which was also the imperative that george bush faced in his final years was not to lose face i'd like you to expend a little bit on afghanistan you argue that get us any particular certainly into a face saving operation for the president how is he handling that. well to the extent that he can develop

a consensus in the political class in the united states to get out as soon as possible which seems to be happening not particularly through his own initiatives he will get out but unless that develops is going to happen it's going to have to be a continued presence there of some sort which is going to continue to wreak murder and mayhem and not to achieve any of the official objectives that the united states put forward in entering into that conflict in the first place if that explodes then obama will look bad because the united states will look weak and it will look to it will look defeated in that and that's not a recipe for success for someone who has worked on an electoral campaign aside from the wars already on the u.s. plate you wrote that by far the biggest bullet for president obama to dodge is a war against iran do you think it might actually happen i mean export it when he was government so crazy idea. well it looks now like obama has dodged that bullet

at least until november by basically by but by by unlawful israel with our arms what do you think about the president's approach with regards to iran when he's trying to cater to to everybody in a way to the israelis by saying that he would be ready to go to war and to everybody else by saying that he actually doesn't like the drums of war and there is still a chance for diplomacy to work i think the result is that although he maybe have succeeded in avoiding the war between now and the election and maybe even afterwards one could hope the rationale for the war remains intact and so the past so the danger that some events could transpire which would lead to. which would reignite the danger and maybe even lead to what to look at the eruption of the war remains real and obama hasn't effectively addressed that issue which i think this. an instance of a general problem with obama's presidency and it's partly why it's very hard for

anyone any of obama's supporters to come up with any reason for. it before supporting him especially for supporting him enthusiastically in the upcoming election other than that the alternative is so much worse. because whatever he's accomplished that could not on balance be given up a plus it's always in cumbered by negatives that are very nearly cancel cancel out the benefits the contenders for the republican nomination they have a pretty scary rhetoric when it comes to foreign affairs everyone minus ron paul they don't seem to have words political solution in there with capillary right and yet you called president obama the most hawkish of the lot why well he's the most

hawkish of the lot with respect to some issues there not with respect to to all issues his position on afghanistan. is at least momentarily probably more hawkish than that of mitt romney they they. they have all of them said that now is the time to get out and obama has the steward of the empire can't say that and so he also said well i gradually gradually to get out there's a gradual to go. but that's different from getting out now which was what even to gingrich. on a different note related to domestic politics i want to ask you about the occupy wall street movement and where you think it's heading these people took to the streets to protest the culture of revolving doors in washington and a cozy relationship between corporations and politicians of

a limited contributions to political campaigns which we see as legalized corruption do you think their voices were heard. in the general differently diffuse cultural sense i don't think you can. wall street banks tourists or cultural heroes anymore the way that they work the way that they used to be in terms of policy making in terms of policy making probably not. least with this administration so far but there was a backlash that took create a forum and that went to a kind of awakening kind of consciousness raising and where that goes now is the spring is coming and a new forms of struggle are likely to emerge and how that will interact with the political campaign which he has to respond to which i mean fortunately of the union address for example he would say that you know there is

a need to keep the last reading chair that it needs to be better regulated so you don't say all those words you can so he can say that and then he can go right out and not keep wall street and soon americans will face a choice between mitt romney most possibly and obama candidates from two parties democrat and republican you wrote that romney's and i quote here awfulness will win the election for the democrats i want to ask you about the two party system and the two horse race that established the fact that we do you think americans. have that much of a choice when electing a president it's sort of like. coke and pepsi and the level of intact in this doubt of we exist in the places where those things are manufactured and marketed but at the level of underlying political vision or underlying political orientation there isn't that much difference and romney would probably be perfectly

happy doing what obama does we have a media which is so thoroughly controlled and all the institutions that manufacture opinion are so pervasive and our electoral system has become basically like an advertising it's become a sales promotions there are brands and there are people trying to sell different products one of two products. and it's. a pressure that's not all it's not so much the pressure that's hard to resist it's a pressure that most people are most people aren't even aware that there is an alternative and can't be measured but i wanted to ask is there a chance for third products to somehow get into this well historically that only seems to happen to some small extent when the third part of product is backed by a huge amount of money when ross perot was running for president and. the greens can't do that and they're not going to have one thing they need to carry

that was in one thousand nine hundred ninety two you know according to. one of the latest gallup polls a record number of americans forty percent of americans identify themselves as independents that ever happened and they don't have their candidate. effectively right we have a very profound disconnect between what people want in any recognized meaningful and recognizable sense of the term and what the political process offers in the way of war of alternatives by the way that the party system has evolved especially in recent years that makes it it and by it. indefensible jurisprudence which has made it increasingly possible for. corporations and for very rich people effect of lead to control the political

process and under those circumstances it doesn't matter that much what people want or even that much how involved people are thank you very much thank you dr levin. thank you. download the official publication. choose your language stream quality and enjoy your favorite. t.v. is not required to watch on t.v. all you need to. watch on t.v. any time.

a defensive slip up. but the bosnian was denied the chance of getting a double missing the penalty awarded after andre braugher were sent off on the half hour. soledad didn't give up and pulled off level from a set pace with three minutes to go second bottom two points behind ross dots. and in the last game on saturday landing i came back to draw one one at home to an hour and then make table battle public not to have trucked to the visitors late in the first half but pretty skin levelled the head at twenty nine to get them in the night and the last ten. in england bunch the city up to four thousand an unconvincing three one win at home to keep p.r. goals from ya toure a jack-o. and call us tennis sealed the three points although city admit the still room for improvement for not. be in terms of performances at this moment in time but we do

like that's balanced out by the point stall that we've got on the table its problems are the fact that we scoring goals. we'd like to keep clean sheets we haven't done that we. probably paid the penalty they couldn't agree more. also big now west brom defeated everton to neil on saturday ten man sponsored twice pulled back to draw two two with home to sunderland and a second spurs are yet to win a league game and on that even after they can see their late equaliser against marriage west ham got a three nil darby's win over full of with andy carroll setting up two goals before he had to go off injured and peter crouch netted the late in stakes two two draw. and the games today liveable hopes are some with both sides looking for their first win tonight in travel to new promoted southampton newcastle entertain aston villa last needs to gain. let's go to the tennis instructor williams has enjoyed

a sweet victory over russia catherine occurred over the us open. forty two when the world had not be american at the astray you know but williams made sure there was not going to be a repeat greeting the russian six four six love to reach the last sixteen i want next payday and see the check and that a hell of a call for russian maria kirilenko. second seed ignace going to dance is also interim for the polish became illini yankovic in a scrappy match that saw nine breaks of six three seven five the score in this one and play its lead vinci may. want to look out for the moment is angelica herbert the german reached the semifinals at wimbledon and got a straight sets victory over. from bellary. it was a good match for me i started very. also the men's single for

very long and. warming out three times but. i just tried to refocus. you know it was very hot out there so i think it was good that they played. in the federally. to get past the end of it ask a well known since tre says when for the top seed at flushing meadows a well off the woods he did admit he wasn't entirely straight for. the little box today was complicated because ver das go gave me a lot of different serves plus he's left handed one was sliced wanted thirty five miles per hour so it's never easy to get into it and there are some wind also today but i'm really happy i feel good there's always a relief when you get through the first week. and the man who beat federer to take gold lympics andy murray is three well though he needed almost twice as long to defeat for the channel life has despite having beaten him six times before murray

was a bit late but as he eventually won three sets to what. was toughest physically physically challenging it was you know i actually felt better towards the. half way through. i think. it was probably going to a combination of things you know having. you know not played much in these conditions it's just you know to get used. it is the belgian formula one grand prix today in mclaren jenson button will start on pole position for the first time in three years he was fastest in qualifying at this. driver can we took second to clinch the front drive for the front row start for the first time in his career while williams pastor maldonado. then came to me reichen and i see you had as with standings leader fernando alonso ferrari six red bulls mark webber with seventh quickest but will start twelve after

a great penalty behind defending champion sebastian vettel. it's been quite a long time since i got my last proposition back in two thousand and nine monaco i think so. yeah it's pretty emotional you know some days of being good for the past few years but some of those of. not gone perfectly we could. a great qualifying session it's you know it's so important to come back after the break up to such a long break with with a good result in certain races tomorrow but this is this is close to winning a grand prix for me it's been it's been so long. in other news golf's world number one rory mcilroy has a one shot laid at the halfway stage of the doj bank championship in boston the northern irishman started brilliantly this approach setting him up for an eagle on his whole. he then went on to the next one goes into the penultimate round a shot ahead of south africa's new susan he wasn't playing too badly and self this

is him here tiger woods is two shots back after firing a sixty eight. now finally at the paralympics oscar pistorius has set a new world record in the two hundred meters to south africa and he also competed lympics shaved more than half a second off the previous record finishing his heat in a time of twenty one point three seconds the paralympics he is the defending he's defending his one hundred and four hundred meter titles as well as the two hundred many new records have been set at these games begging the question how much is down to new technology and how much is down to natural ability with more on that from london from costa rica. south africa's oscar pistorius is the most famous paralympian in the world the sprinter became the first man in history to participate in both events of the summer games following his exams at the side so earlier this summer pistorius says achievement has brought him to debates whether

paralympians good suit outperform their able bodied counterparts as the purse that six knology advances each year. stickpin takes care of the russian paralympic team's prosthetic limb stock and contrary to the critics he believes that technology has little to do with the actual improvements of results. of course the manufacturers of all this equipment are competing between each other always trying to improve something but i want to stress it that's in the end everything depends on the athletes alan mooney represents the african nation of ghana at the paralympics has come a long way in sports starting with the amputee football at home and now road cycling in london and he probably knows better than anyone that state of the art technology comes a distant second to strength of character if there has or their best technology has been improvement always been modified. and athlete him or herself is not

able to put force it will view us you never succeed or be the best athlete so it it's all about pace of your own determination does it clean integrity initiate if she had intelligence given back. and we need oscar pistorius prove to his fellow athletes with disabilities that competing at the able bodied the olympics is not an unachievable dream naturally they cannot do with down's artificial limbs but one thing's certain paralympians are the driving force behind the advancement of for static products. so what's in store for the future of technology for people with disabilities are we ever going to see a so-called blade runner the one hundred meters faster than a same bolt well the answer to that is still not sure prosthetics manufacturers have already made a huge technological leap and

a large part thanks to the efforts and courage of paralympic athlete ramon coffer of artsy london. an interesting debate that is always full for the moment that we've got the weather coming at least.
